NEW DELHI: In a major reprieve for SpiceJet, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has lifted the 50% cap on its flight operations from this winter schedule, effective October 30.
The low cost carrier, which expects funding of about Rs 1,000 crore from the government’s modified emergency credit scheme, has been allowed to operate 3,193 weekly domestic flights — up 6.6% from last winter’s figure of 2,995.
